Hi Stanka,

There are lots of galleries in downtown Seattle but they're not clustered together as much as they used to be. Ten years ago there was a whole block that was pretty much all galleries on both sides that was limited to pedestrian traffic. One place on the corner had an outdoor eating/drinking spot. It was really fun to go to on a summer evening -- like a big party. But most of the galleries have moved on to other spaces for some reason.

There are still dozens of galleries at various places in the downtown area though. There's a monthly free guidebook that's put out on display at the galleries and other downtown businesses with a gallery map and information on the artists who are showing where that month. The galleries get LOTS of people coming to visit on that opening night.

Hope that helps!
